Rumour about Pastor Koh’s body found untrue, say cops
Abduction of Christian religious leader continues to be a mystery as police and family deny latest rumour circulating on WhatsApp.
PETALING JAYA: Police have been quick to dismiss a rumour that the body of Pastor Raymond Koh has been found, The Star reported.
Responding to the rumour, which is being circulated widely on the WhatsApp messaging service, Petaling Jaya OCPD Mohd Zani Che Din told the daily that there had been no such report made to the police on the matter.
The pastor’s family too denied the rumour which had stated that Koh was murdered and his body had been found.
Koh, 62, was abducted by a group of masked men on Jalan SS4B/10, less than 100 metres from the Police Housing Complex, in Kelana Jaya on Feb 13. He was driving a silver Honda Accord bearing the licence plate ST 5515 D.
He was on his way to a friend’s house in Kelana Jaya when he was abducted in what CCTV footage has shown to be a well-executed plan involving more than 10 men and seven vehicles in broad daylight.
His family is offering a reward of RM100,000 for information of his whereabouts.
Last night, more than 300 people gathered at a candlelight vigil near the Plaza Masalam in Seksyen 9, Shah Alam, to highlight the lack of information from the police on the abduction, amid fears that it could be a religiously-motivated crime.
